This is a place for me to be less polished, less professional, and more curious. A place that will be full of questions, questionable design, and unfinished thoughts. Somewhere that will be in a perpetual state of change.
Why Extra-medium:
Extra-medium is a strange name, yeah? Well it’s two thing
- A description of the artistic of my posts. Not great, but not terrible. And that’s the point. I’m looking for a place to share, post, think, and engage free from the obligation of polish and perfection that’s expected on a professional portfolio. Some things will be great and some will be outright dumb.
- I love to learn, ask questions, and expand my skills into, well, extra mediums. Things beyond my current skills. This make take the form of writing, 3D rendering, animation, or whatever else I get my hands on.
So join me on this journey of learning and curiosity!
Organization
As mentioned, this is a place for creative tomfoolery, random thoughts, and things I see.
Creative Tomfoolery
These will generally be larger undertakings, usually involving multiple steps and a progression of fidelity.
Random thoughts
These are quick sketches, ideas, things that are mostly incomplete and half baked. Often, if I’m interested enough they will get promoted to Creative Tomfoolery.
Things I see
Random things I see, either in real life or online, that I think people should see.
